*WEB BROWSER DEVELOPER* Mozilla has updated its Aurora channel with a beta version of Firefox that among many other things looks to optimise memory usage.
Earlier this week, the folks at Mozilla uncovered what was starting to look like a solution for Firefox's Achilles heel, resource usage <http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2084239/mozilla-reduce-firefox-memory-usage>. By increasing the frequency of the browser's garbage collection on its Javascript engine, some testers were reporting a significant drop in memory usage. At the time it wasn't expected to see the light of day until Firefox 7, however it seems that Mozilla has fast-tracked the feature into its beta Aurora channel <http://blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2011/07/07/firefoxaurora7/>.
